    - Problems sharing on network I have two machines running XP Pro, hard-wired to a Linksys router. I'm trying to network them, but I'm clearly doing something dumb. If on the first machine I go to: My Network Places\Entire Network\Micorsoft Windows Network\Mshome I see both computers listed. But when I go to Sharing and Security for a second harddrive and try to add a new "share" the Permissions window only displays one (the current) machine in the locations list.

    - Offline File Folder/Subfolder Structure I recently bought a laptop to use at work, Win XP Pro on board. I read through how to set up the "offline files" so I could work on my networked files at home and then sync up again when connected back up at work. (I had been doing this previously with a flash drive and Briefcase.) Well, the initial sync worked, set up all the files in an offline file folder on the desktop, but when I looked at the files, they are in one big list, no subfolder structure shows...the listing shows that their original location still is in a subfolder, but it didn't copy the subfolder structure over (and I DID click the little box that asked if I wanted the subfolders synced.) I am a little new to messing around with networked files, and I don't want to do something that will go back and screw up the files on the network when I sync up next, so I didn't want to just "try" stuff... Anyone know how to get the new offline files to mimic the network subfolder structures? I have a dozen folders and hundreds of subfolders...not like I can just "rebuild" this myself and put the files in it... Thanks. Tag: Differential Backups Tag: 324511

I wish to create an identical disk (a new hard disk) to my C drive (bootable) so that when drive C crashes, I would have a back up to it. The drive letter to the new hard disk is D. I can format it with Disk Management, but was unable to make it a bootbale drive. Had tried in DOS with the command: FORMAT D: /s, but failed. Any helps? If it is impossible to do it this way as Windows prohibits to format D as a system drive, then what other ways to achieve this? Thanks. sengke Tag: Differential Backups Tag: 324495

    - Access an XP data drive (no OS installed) using Vista Ultimate I have already taken ownership over what I was able to via the "Security" tab and it does show that I am the current owner re the admin portion of the drive, HOWEVER, physically...I am unable to view ANY directory or folders on this drive. Vista only shows a drive letter and when I click on drive...says "no access". Windows Vista recognizes only that it is a drive...but will not allow me physical access to it. This was only a slave (data drive) only. And some folders did have password protection, however, like I said...I have already changed ownership rights to the drive. I was the administrator of this "data" drive in my previous system and have all passwords, etc...it is just not allowing me to physically get into the drive to navigate around. So, what I need is clarification that there IS a way to physically access my SATA drive in my Vista system and if there are software settings I need to change in the security tabs first what are they? Will I need to put this drive back into a XP system? I would have to build or buy one...as all of my systems are currently Vista systems. then what is the best, most efficient way to get 200gb of data to my Vista system? -- John C - Midwest, USA Tag: Differential Backups Tag: 324440

    - Dual Core CPU I think my system is screwed up. I have a dual core CPU but when I look at CPU Usage in Task Manager I only see 1 panel.

I had that configured to use 2 processors but when I tried to get it going, it complained that it only found 1 processor and refused to start.

    - XP keeps rebooting This started yesterday and I thought it might be SP3. First boot of the morning worked fine. Then I shut it down and later that morning the wife started up the machine. I have two hard drives, both equiped with XP home off the same CD. Well, it gets as far as Loading windows but never gets to the Welcome screen before rebooting. I thought it might be SP3 so I uninstalled it, windows did an update that morning, thus I removed them as well. If I unplug the slave HD, it works fine. If I switch the Slave to Master and vice versa, it boots fine. The issue is them booting together. I am sure it is probably a driver issue, but how do I find that out?

    - MMC?? After booting to my Slave Hard Drive (a clone of the Master), I decided to do some cleanup there. I tried Defrag, but it wouldn't open and gave me an error window, saying MMC (Microsoft Management Console, as I recall it) was not available or I didn't have access to it. I own this whole system and don't share it with anybody, so one would think that I might not be denied access to MMC. Not that I asked for access or knew it existed..... Yes, I can defrag it as the F-Drive while running C:, but is this MMC thing something that I ought to fix? Like, it's a clone to use as a replacement when the Master dies, and then I'd sure want full capability. Tag: Differential Backups Tag: 324376

When using 'Differential' backups, and you delete a file from your desktop,
will the deleted file also be removed from your backup the next time you
carry out a differential backup?

I would like to back up my files and then delete them from my hard drive to
free up some space, but am concerned that, if I do, that the files will also
be deleted from my backup.

It would if you overwrote the last one, but you could make different files.

Why not just archive them to DVD or such. Then who cares.
